When we fell for this sucker punch,Magic was the central of the 3,after Stearman had gone off,Stevens was LCB,he should have dealt with a hopeful long punt from the Millwall centre half,he didn’t,this was a terrible goal to concede,we haven’t recovered from conceding this goal IMO
honestly think that stearman and o connell could be a great pairing in a flat back 4 i know chris prefers the 3 at the back but i dont think we would be quite as open and leak as many goals i actually like the 4 3 3 system and we could have evans coutts and fleck as the 3 then a target man whoever that might be with 2 just in behind as support just my opinion of course
I still think there's something in my theory about letting them bed in over the second half of this season - settle into the area, get their kids into schools, that kind of thing - so they can have a full, uninterrupted pre-season and hit the ground running in August.
It's the only logical explanation I can think of
I'm sure Wilder said we want players that can hit the ground running,regarding signing players in Jan.
I'm not convinced it is a completely positive thing, to be honest. If it is the strategy, then yes, we'll have more settled players for the start of next season, which is a bonus. However, that might be considered to be at the cost of bringing in additional players who could have pushed us over the line this season and got us into the playoffs or above…
exactly carpe of the 3 players that came in only evans has established a place in the team holmes and leonard hopefully will come good next season but they wernt the signings that were gonna get us a top 6 spot chris needed at least double the amount that he was given to give us a realistic chance of the play offs and he needs at least 5 million this summer if were to be challenging again imo utb ftp
